REVIEWS

Booking The Proper Setting for our wedding was the best planning decision that we made! Kerri (the owner) worked directly with us to ensure that our big day was perfect. She went above and beyond to work out every little detail so that we could relax and enjoy our wedding. She is responsive, organized and very personable. I can't think of a single bad thing to say about her! I will miss working with her, now that our wedding is over!

Kerri is the BEST and an absolute necessity if you are planning a wedding on the Outer Banks. We were married at the Sanderling in June and planned the wedding from Chicago / DC, which could have been VERY stressful, but with Kerri's help, everything was a breeze! She is incredibly on top of things and responsive to questions / requests, but at the same time has a laid-back personality that puts you at ease. She helped with EVERYTHING, including a family party the week before the wedding (catering, decorations, etc.), recommending and connecting us with AMAZING vendors in the area (band, dessert, photographer, decorator, shuttles from the airport and during the wedding weekend), keeping details / bills in order for all these different vendors, answering all the questions we had, and of course, being there helping with anything and everything on the wedding day! We could not recommend Kerri enough, no matter where you are getting married in the Outer Banks (including the Sanderling) or how much wedding planning you think you need (from just handling a few details, to planning an entire wedding from scratch). She made wedding planning so easy and fun for me, my husband, and especially my mom (who mentioned several times that hiring Kerri was by far the best investment we ever made, and I couldn't agree more). Thank you Kerri!!!!

We cannot thank Kerri and her team at The Proper Setting enough for making our wedding day so perfect! We absolutely could not have done it without her. Choosing The Proper Setting was the best wedding decision we made!

My husband and I lived in Virginia Beach and were both working full-time and completing master's degrees during the planning process - but our monthly meetings with Kerri, her planning timeline, as well as vendor, decor and layout recommendations eliminated so much stress for us both! We had full trust in Kerri to execute all of the details and she did an excellent job! On the day-of, not only did Kerri and Mary do a beautiful job setting up the reception venue and decor, but they made sure the ceremony and reception ran smoothly and that our day was worry-free. Our guests continue to comment at how calm I was the entire day - and that is all thanks to The Proper Setting!

If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner - know that the investment is totally worth it. And I highly recommend that you choose The Proper Setting!!!

Folks, if you're looking for a wedding planner, PLEASE look no further than The Proper Setting, LLC (Kerri Catino-Nason). My husband (whoo hoo!!) and I can honestly say our wedding day would not have been as amazing as it was without Kerri! Kerri's vendor recommendations fell in line with our vision of our wedding. Am I gushing? You bet! Just being able to relax knowing everything was being taken care of was PRICELESS!!! Our wedding guests, families and friends--every one of them--talked about how great, professional and kind Kerri was. Not only can we recommend Kerri, we now call her friend!

We booked Kerri before we even booked our venue! From the start, we knew that she was the perfect asset to our long distance wedding planning! She was beyond supportive of all our needs and wants and made it all happen while working with us across the miles & time difference! Her rapport with the local vendor community was awesome and she really helped us stay on track throughout the process. Unfazed in any challenge, Kerri pulled through for us and was always the calm, rationale voice we needed!

On the day of she was beyond amazing - with everything under control and all ran smoothly! She helped make our day one to remember and the wedding wouldn't have been the same without her!! Sharing our deepest thanks & appreciation to Kerri & the Proper Setting team!!

Kerri was amazing to work with in planning my daughter's wedding! I went from thinking I could plan a wedding myself, to thanking her every day for being there and guiding me through a very complicated process! She is so organized and responsive to our requests. We laughed together and cried together! Kerri was the one professional I could not have done without! And the wedding day was perfection thanks to her!

Our choice of The Proper Setting for wedding planning could not have been better. Without doubt, our investment in Kerri’s experience was the wisest choice of all of our wedding expenditures. She directed us to solid vendors and helped us overcome major challenges at our very large event home venue. Her knowledge saved us expenses several times her fee – on a very short timeline.

As with any destination wedding you're going to want someone familiar with the area. The Proper Setting hits it out of the park in this respect. You will find Kerri’s connections to be invaluable – she knows everyone and everything you’ll need to create your special day on the Outer Banks.

Kerri!! Words cannot express how thankful we are, how appreciative we are and how lucky we are to have had you be a part of our big day! I cannot express enough how perfect the day was, how smoothly everything went, how I didnt have to worry about ANYTHING! Even when I found out my toasting flutes were missing you had already found them and secured them safely in our room before I could even finish telling you they were missing!!!
From the moment you came bursting through the Starbucks door at our first meeting we knew that your energy was a perfect match for us! You have been so wonderful to work with, a fabulous source of information and advice and just such a pleasure! You were always available when we needed you and got back to us promptly.
If there was one word to describe you and your team it would be Phenomenal! Thank you for helping us plan and have the most perfect most magical day of our lives!!!! You deserve an A+++!!!
